This is a wonderful gift for someone that likes to tinker like myself and I was
immediately very enthusiastic about it. Being passionate about Haskell
I decided that the first thing to do was to get it running on my new toy.

So here is my guide to get Haskell running on the Raspberry Pi.

Overview

Installing the OS

To get the OS on my Raspberry Pi I formatted my microSD card and got NOOBS
on it. From there I booted and via the on screen OS selector I installed
raspbian lite. At the time of writing the version of raspbian is Jessie.

Once the os is installed you can login on console with the default credentials:

username: pi
password: raspberry

Updating packages

Once you have installed the OS and are able to log in it’s time to update the list
of packages.
